to learn that the gold dust lounge hopes and plans to be moving to the fisherman's wharf area, this is a liquor license related to that, i know there was significant outreach to the fisherman's wharf area to make sure folks would understand the kind of neighborhood business that the gold dust lounge has been and with that, this is a liquor license transfer that i support and i just want to mention because the comment had been made before, this would be moving this specific liquor license really away from the district 6 area which is where i know some of the activists here have had issues with and moving it along the waterfront on to jefferson street. er >> thank you, president chu, does the project sponsor have any comments before we move to public comment? please come forward if you do.

>> good morning, supervisors, [inaudible] i think president chu has covered all the points except for one item that i want to cover as part of our due diligence for outreach, and this is nick bovis, the proprietor of the business, we did have an ongoing dialog with the upstairs commercial tenants would was complaining about the possibility of a noise leak from the entertainment from the gold dust lounge, the gold dust lounge at fisherman's bhar f has not commenced build o*ut yet and when it does, there are plans in place to do significant soundproofing and as you well known, an entertainment permit cannot be fully granted until the inspection is given from the city, so all the safeguards in

place, we've done significant outreach to this particular tenant upstairs and another tenant e-mailed me back and said everything was fine as far as he was concerned so that's about it, this is nick bovis. >> i wanted to thank everybody for your support and help and the cause from [inaudible] downtown to try to stop all the retailers in making san francisco the same, we appreciate all the help and support and i know everybody tried really hard and the next best thing is to move it and we appreciate your support. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you, any members of the public wish to comment on the item? seeing none, public -- >> could you pass these in, one for the clerk. my name is michael nulty and

i'm the executive director of alliance for better district 6, we are a coalition member of the tenant's association coalition which has written a letter of support for the type 48 liquor license at 165 jefferson, the gold dust lounge at fisherman's wharf, we believe the tenant's association coalition supports gold dust lounge at fisherman's what f, requests for resolution for public convenience or necessity. the representatives that had come to one of our meetings and told them about their proposed plan and so we are quite aware of that, we're also very sympathetic about the [inaudible] of specific businesses, there aren't that many left, they're mostly large retailers and we like to see

small businesses thrive in our downtown area to clean the business corridors, and so it's very important to see that businesses stay, particularly small businesses because they provide more to the economy than these large corporations like cvs, thank you. >> any other members of the public wish to comment? come on up. >> pardon me for being late, there was a two hour commute from nevado, my name is antoine, i'm one of the owners of 165 jefferson, in 1934, my father bought the property and it's still in the family, although scattered amongst children and grandchildren, in 1934, my father bought the property put his hardware store in it in 1968, the [inaudible]

restaurant burnt down and took my father's hardware store with it, they built two structures, ours was mostly shops, theirs, they had a restaurant and a bar downstairs and offices upstairs. thereafter, this being his, they closed the restaurant downstairs, but they leased upstairs to a bar called the silhouettes, so the premises next to joining us at 155 jefferson has had a liquor license on the first floor and a restaurant and then they had a stand alone restaurant upstairs, the trade upstairs was people that used to work in the area and of course with respect to the situation now, the premises are to be leased

hopefully to the gdl, gold dust lounge to put a bar just next door so the area is not stranger to a bar in that place and i would consider it that the resolution should pass and that the bar be allowed to continue or to be placed there at 165 jefferson street. >> okay, thank you very much. any other members of the public? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> supervisor olague. >> i wanted to tlang the bovis's for hanging in there and finding a new location and relocating, i think it's to the issue that came up around the gold dust lounge that i think we still need to discuss here as a city, the issue of the c-3 being exempt from any kind of conditional use when it comes to formula retail, i know it has to do with cost of rent and there are a lot of issues,

perhaps a conversation with boma, but that is one of the few areas of the city where conditional uses where formula retail is allowed as of right, i think, not the only area but one of the few. also we came to the realization that landmark a building only preserves the exterior it doesn't preserve the culture, so i think that we still have that -- we're still in the midst of those conversations about creating cultural heritage districts throughout the city, we're more interested in what's in the building rather than just the building itself, so that's one of the challenges that i think we were struggling with when it came to pursuing the landmark indefinitely and to what end, you know, so anyway, those are -- i just want to thank you again for hanging in there and hopefully we'll be at the opening of the gold dust lounge

there in fisherman's wharf, so i would like to move this to committee -- move this out of committee. >> president chu? >> this is not a formula retail establishment, this is a one of a kind establishment and i certainly think there are element tos the gold dust lounge which are historic, that being said, given the rules that we have, it wasn't deemed such and needed to move, but i do hope and believe that this is an establishment that will soon become a neighborhood favorite and from my perspective, i think it's important for the fisherman's wharf community that only sees tourist community tho have a handful of places where local residence and is people can go, and this is in part why i support this move, so with that, i appreciate supervisor olague's support and hope the committee will be able to move this in regard with recommendation.

>> mr. clerk, we'll take supervisor olague's motion to move this in regard. can you please read this. >> hearing to consider that the transfer of a type 48 on-sale general public premises license from 247 pow we will street to a 165 jefferson street. >> good morning, president chu and supervisors, my name is rich, i'm a police inspector with the san francisco police department, the applicant has filed an application with the beverage control [inaudible] for 1201 minnesota street located on the south corner on 23rd street, it is an online order company and is not open to the public, this company has moved to 1201 minnesota street at their previous location of
